Quote #10
While [Paul] was making this defense, Festus exclaimed, "You are out of your mind, Paul! Too much learning is driving you insane!" But Paul said, "I am not out of my mind, most excellent Festus, but I am speaking the sober truth." (Acts 26:24-25, NRSV)
As [Paul] thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad. But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness. (Acts 26:24-25, KJV)
The line between insanity and genius is so fine. The Roman official thinks Paul is nuts, but he's just bringing the truth about God. This can't end well for Paul.
